Minaj spoke on having to cancel her Manchester tour date following the arrest.
Nicki Minaj has had many eventful weeks so far in 2024. The first was when she found herself embroiled in a beef with Megan Thee Stallion. Meg threw out a diss aimed at Nicki’s husband on her song “HISS.” Minaj responded by manically retweeting her fans posts online constantly for multiple days and eventually dropping her own response track “Big Foot.” Since February, she’s made weekly news for the stops on her Pink Friday 2 tour which have often featured attention-grabbing surprise guests.
But this week may have been her most eventful in a long time. It started over the weekend when Nicki was arrested in Amsterdam for alleged drug charges. Videos of her interactions with police in the country made the rounds online as her fans took issue with her treatment. Once Minaj was released she was even more critical of the police’s behavior on social media. She was released from custody a few hours later and given a fine. She even went as far as to claim that the arrest was racially motivated and cited an incident with Ari Lennox as another example. Check out her newest statement discussing the arrest below.
